But Hon Ssemujju Nganda said it but we never listened. Hon @norbertmao was too qualified to be @NRMOnline speaker. 🫣

📢 A new 5 million CAD 5 year partnership between FINCA Canada and Global Affairs Canada (@CanadaDev) has officially been launched to increase economic opportunities for youth in Tanzania and Uganda.

Announced yesterday in Dodoma, Tanzania by Hon. Randeep Sarai, Canada’s Secretary of State for International Development, the initiative will empower over 40,000 young people, especially young women who face 50% higher unemployment, through skills training, financial inclusion and mentorship.

Together we’re investing in a more inclusive and resilient future.

Dissection the Anita Among Saga , this honourable is knowledgeable BTW 🔥

[TOKO @GodwinTOKO]

*Anita Among in court tomorrow afternoon…*

The judge: “…so, how do you plead to these charges?”

Her: “Not guilty.”

The Judge: “She has pleaded GUILTY: A guilty verdict is entered on her plea. Sentencing is set for tomorrow on court one…”

🍿🍿

[SSEKABIRA PATRICK @PSSEKABIR]

NTV Uganda documented the life of Anita Among in just 12 minutes. Watch how Solomon Kaweesa brilliantly put it together.

[The Influence Kule 🇺🇬🇰🇪🇹🇿🇧🇫 @KuleRonaldMbing]

When Dr. @kizzabesigye1 said all these, @AnitahAmong thought she was an exception.

She forgot that Dr. had treated Museveni in the bush, and equally understood him better.

People don't learn.

Are you attending #RightsCon2026?

We are excited to share that we shall be at @rightscon next week from 5th-8th May 2026 in Lusaka, Zambia.

Alongside other civil society actors, technologists, policy makers and more stakeholders, we shall contribute to conversations on comparative rights-based monitoring approaches, building gender-just and sustainable futures.

We look forward to engaging with you all during and after the event.

See you then!

We’re back from #DRIF2026 🌍

We hosted 4 powerful sessions on gender, elections, connectivity, and digital rights, and the conversations went far beyond access.
  •Gendered disinformation in elections (Cameroon, Tanzania, Uganda)
  • Launch of LONDA 2025 + short film premiere
  •Rights-based, gender inclusive connectivity
  •Rethinking rural broadband beyond infrastructure

Key takeaways from #DRIF2026 👇
  • Africa has 2000+ languages, but very little digital & AI-ready data
  • Voice & language datasets must be community-led, culturally aligned, and rights-based
  • Data sovereignty, copyright & consent matter, especially under the EU AI Act

From Mozilla Common Voice and Voice Africa Data Sets to building lexicons on TFGBV, the future of AI must reflect our own voices, protect traditional knowledge, and serve real community needs.

The work continues.

Special thanks to @ParadigmHQ for hosting such a powerful regional conference that brings diverse stakeholders focusing on digital rights and inclusion and beyond!

There's some weekend motivation 😉

Today we joined the Strategic Dialogue on Gender Equality & Women’s Empowerment (#GEWE) in Uganda by @unwomenuganda.

We highlighted the power of networks and coalitions advancing women’s rights online and called for collective action on digital rights ahead of Uganda’s universal periodic reviews.
